Ingredients
For the Blueberry Lemon Bread:
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest, grated
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. In the same bowl used for the dry ingredients, toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent them from sinking. Gently fold the lemon zest and coated blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For the lemon glaze, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blueberry lemon bread, allowing some to run down the sides. Slice and serve this irresistible treat!
